How to Progress Efficiently



Here’s how to hit program points fast without wasting games:



1. Cityscapes Conquest Map

Complete this map to earn 90 OVR Richie Sexson, two Cityscapes Deluxe Packs, and hidden bonuses like a Ballin' is a Habit pack plus six Show packs.

Use early program rewards like J.R. Richard to speed up wins and accumulate points.

2. Cityscapes Mini Seasons

Playing full seasons (7 or 28 games) rewards packs and stubs.

Earn repeatable Deluxe Packs for every 10,000 Parallel XP (PXP) gained with Cityscapes players.

Notable rewards include Edgar Martinez (91), Ian Kinsler (90), Jim Edmonds (90), and John Franco (90).

3. PXP Missions

Earn 2,000 PXP with Cityscapes players for 10 program points.

Earn 4,000 PXP with Cityscapes players for another 10 points.

Complete six general missions using any players for 60 points total.

4. Exchange Section

Trade duplicate Cityscapes players (close to quick-sell value) for new cards.

This helps complete the collection without burning through stubs.

5. Efficient Grinding Tips

Use early program rewards in Mini Seasons and Conquest to start stacking PXP early.

Focus on repeatable modes for Deluxe Packs, which are a reliable source of high-rated Cityscapes cards.

Stack multiple objectives in the same game—PXP missions, stats missions, and Mini Season goals—to maximize efficiency.



Bottom Line: The Cityscapes Program in MLB The Show 26 rewards smart planning. Start with early track cards, stack missions in Mini Seasons and Conquest, and trade duplicates in the Exchange. By focusing on efficiency, you can unlock diamond players like Mickey Mantle, Jimmy Rollins, and Ian Happ without wasting stubs or hours of gameplay.
